It's wrong to exploit a disaster, by whatever means

It's just plain wrong to play politics during a disaster such as the current flood.

People are suffering and even dying.

And here we have people who used the disaster to further their political agenda.

It's distasteful.

It doesn't matter which side of the political divide they are from, these people who see the disaster as an opportunity to gain politically are real scumbags.

At least that's how I see them.

I don't care what are their motives.

The end shouldn't justify the means.

Why can't everyone be focused at helping the flood victims for now?

We can always throw mud at each other again later.

All that matter now is for the flood victims to get all the help that we can offer.

They can do without being exploited as political tools.

Anyway, as for the badmouthing and vile comments related to the subject matter, I think you should think for yourself...and don't pass judgements based on what some self-righteous people said or wrote.

Those people actually have their own political agenda.

They don't really care about you, me or anybody.

They don't really care about the flood victims.

All that matter to them is for things to go their way.

That's their sole motivation to spin or create stories which were to serve their personal interests.

It's just greed and lust for power, for these people.

It blinded them to the actual sufferings of humanity during this difficult time.

  1. Well said sis ...
    But then tell that to the PasPisPussy and the Pakatan folks ..... especially amongst the Educator . You will be AMAZED . So skewed .
    The WA is viral with comment on FED gomen but nothing mentioned about the state MB and the exco doing . The fact that the MB and the exco DO NOT want to do anything is very clear enough when they DO NOT want to declare the State of Emergency .
    Without that declaration the army and police cannot be involved . Yet they are blaming the FED.
    The question ..where is that Pas Amal army ....so active during the bersih event . Where is Ambiga and her crony.?
    To the so called EDUCATOR ...what's yr point ? ... to help the victim or just play blaming game ?

    Waghih.

    1. I've been briefed about the legal axiom that these Islamists largely employ: its a variant of the ends will justify the means! Although the Shafii school is very critical about its acute lack of defensible rigor.

    2. The said legal axiom is "sad ad dharai" which actually denotes "to prevent apparently lawful means that would lead to unlawful outcome/ends." So if an unscrupulous ulamak were to prejudicially evaluate some matter as "an unlawful outcome" then he could possibly justify initiating some form of "legal action" against some individual(s) Hence there is a clear need for standards of criteria when employing this particular legal method.

  2. As Salam Jum'ah Annie,

    "Anyway, as for the badmouthing and vile comments related to the subject matter, I think you should think for yourself...and don't pass judgements based on what some self-righteous people said or wrote."

    Digesting in its entirety, you will find difficulty to circumvent uncomfy retorts of whatever nature for as long as you operate a blog and leave a 'Comment' box available.

    Do you 'agree-to-disagree' on this? :-)

  4. Both sides of the political divides are useless. They are no where in the front line when the subjects need them the most. A leader is judged by how he leads his people out of the turmoil of life. Where are the MPs, MB, PM, the Sultans. Where are all of them? At the end, we the ordinary folks only have each other and faith in the Almighty to fend for ourselves.

    1. Dear 12:37,

      Perhaps you had missed this bit below:-

      http://www.thestar.com.my/News/Nation/2014/12/25/east-coast-floods-perak-cancels-new-year-celebrations/

      That's WHERE at least 1-Sultan is yes.

      "At the end, we the ordinary folks only have each other and faith in the Almighty to fend for ourselves."

      You are NOT alone, isolated or neglected. Under very arduous circumstances, AID is still being rendered as best possible by the authorities as we write, no?

      IF, it hasn't reached your side, please maintain the faith. You have my prayers.

  5. They want Najib back, immediately, as if he's the hero whose presence will immediately eliminate the evil doers and return the village to its original peaceful state. Just like what the head of the 'Magnificent Seven' did.

    But the truth is what Najib could do as compared to what he's already delegated full authority to his deputy to do - is about the same.

    On the other hand, do we really think Obama and Najib are only playing golf in Hawaii? The fact is, even in Malaysia, many important deals are cut on the golf courses, or outside Malaysia where the people concerned have more time to focus on the matters.

    We can be sure is that Obama and Najib have important issues informally discussed and agreed upon. Aren't we glad that our PM is on very friendly terms with the Pres of the US, the most powerful man in the world?

    We should also note that his deputy TSM was recently in China to promote greater linkage by increasing bilateral trade from US110b in 2013 to US160b in 2017, as well as asking for 30,000 China teachers to teach Maths and Mandarin in the10,000 national schools beginning next year.

    In chedet's latest post THE MALAYSIAN IMMUNITY, he listed the problems that the country faces. They are all serious and of a structural nature, ie, not the kind that could be solved quickly.

    Indeed, whether they could all be successfully addressed is in question. The reason being there are quite many Malaysians who think the problems could be solve by simple measures, without having to go through what they do not feel comfortable with.

    However, it must be said that the problems mentioned by TDM are inherited.

    It is also clear that PM and his deputy are both working very hard. Despite all the criticisms levelled against Najib (I'm sure he has taken some to heart), he is still the best alternative we have.

    As such, I will continue to support him fully.

    1. Dear 13:21,

      For sure I don't expect any PM to have a swishh-whoosh-zap wand and cry-out 'Expecto Patronum' to deflect the disaster / flood away. I view his presence more on a symbolical note. In no small way, such a presence will ease the suffering.

      "We can be sure is that Obama and Najib have important issues informally discussed and agreed upon. Aren't we glad that our PM is on very friendly terms with the Pres of the US, the most powerful man in the world?"

      'We can'?? Were you privy to their discussion? As your intonation suggests you were, please feel free to highlight what had transpired.

      Aren't we glad that Tun M was NOT perceived as friendly with the-then POTUS? Did we not 'survive' and more, for about 22years?

      Granted, and with immense appreciation where TSM's forays are concerned. However please do not forget that as in Private sector; the need to perform 'Upper-level National Sales' is ingrained in their Job-Description ya.

      M'sia is a TRADING Nation.

      Urmm..so awfully sorry but what has the above got to do with 'not politicizing the flood' issue?

      Having extracted from chedet's blog, in any case, has or has-not Tun M regularly offered advise?

      "It is also clear that PM and his deputy are both working very hard. Despite all the criticisms levelled against Najib (I'm sure he has taken some to heart), he is still the best alternative we have."

      Granted again that PM has his achievements and accomplishments to be sure and worth every support. I humbly opine though that PM can do loads-better to ensure that he does suffer himself to unwarranted negative-impression.

      Perhaps were we able to bring ourselves to the level of the very victims to feel their pulse, hardship. Then, imagine being informed that your leader is 'elsewhere..Golfing'.. It just doesn't cut-it quite right. (I'm sure some has taken to their hearts).. Boleh hangin-1-badan Beb..

    1. As Salam Tn. Haji,

      How very true.

      To coincide with your lament above; many verses quoting & ending with '..Qalii lamma tashkurun' in As-Sajdah (verse 9), in Al-Mulk (verse 23) and listful of others interspersed elsewhere.

      Hopefully we will best-over the 'devil-in-us' with such reminders yes.
